December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

Family, family, family...........it's a wonderful time for coming together as a family....my favorite time of year......

Peace and Joy with Family - celebrating all that we have been given!

I am so looking forward to watching my twin boys experience Christmas and it's joy. Last year they didn't really get it and were even a bit afraid of the Christmas Tree and presents!!! This year they get it, which means more fun looking at lights, putting up decorations and generally watching the pure joy in their faces!

going to nyc for a weekend..just me and hubs

I'm actually going to try baking this year for Christmas. I just bought these adorable loaf pans for a buck and I'm going to make banana bread for presents. I will practice first.

My Aunt Virginia's potato salad? In other words - family and food, in that order!!

oh, I am going to have to check out those places on etsy - what yummy looking stuff...
I am looking forward to everything about the holidays, the infectious excitement that the kids glow with, the celebration of the true meaning of Christmas, the wrapping and the getting all the gifts that are piling up out of my space :)
I just don't like the cold and the snow :{

I look forward to time with family and seeing the joy on my nephews' faces as they experience the fun of Christmas and start to understand the true meaning of Christmas.

I'm so looking forward to hot weather!!! Here in Australia christmas = summer. I love taking photos during the lead up to the christmas excitement. I feel like my kids are at the perfect age to be beside themselves with excitement and wonder about the whole christmas magic. Kyra is 5, Tahlia is 3.5 and Finn is 1.

wowzers...2000+ comments! No wonder you're in the top 1000! Congrats! I so look forward to baking and making everything look pretty. I also love shopping for the "perfect" gifts!
thanks for the chance!

I made a promise to myself last year that I plan to keep this holiday season. The manifesto from last year's Shimelle Journal Your Christmas sums it all up:
This year I refuse to be a slave to the month of December. Instead, I will capture it and make it mine. I will revel in its beauty, marvel at its magic, hold dear its tender moments and contemplate in my heart its awesomeness. Each day I will take a breath, meditate and say a prayer for all there is in this month and the Christmas season for which to be truly grateful. This gift I give to myself.
I can't wait to deliver on this promise!

I am looking forward to putting up a tree and decorating for the first time since 2001.I didn't have a special man to share the holidays with until this year!!! I can't wait to share the Xmas fun with this very special man...Andy!

I'm so looking forward to being with my family all together this year. We were finally able to arrange for all six of us siblings and our families to be together this holiday...cant wait!

Baking ... warpping ... surprising ... decorating ... seeing extended family ... singing along with my christmas carol cd's in the car!

Spending time with family...there is just something about family at Christmas time.

Time with my family for sure...and eating way too many goodies!!

I am looking forward to spending time with my family .No after school activities just peace and quiet.This two week break is something we all look forward to.

I love the time with my family. I have 2 sons now and seeing the joy on their faces at Christmas brings back tons of memories from my childhood.

I love spending time with my family.
